Robert Wilson performs John Cage’s Lecture on Nothing


US theatre auteur Robert Wilson is one of the more influential and groundbreaking forces of theatre in the world today.

Since the late 1960s, his productions have decisively shaped theatre and opera, creating such pivotal works as Einstein on the Beach with Philip Glass and The Black Rider with Tom Waits.

In an Australian exclusive, Wilson takes to the stage solo, paying homage to the great, iconoclastic composer John Cage. Cage’s 1961 work Lecture on Nothing has been called one of the central moments in experimental literature, a wry and sometimes hilarious dismantling of language, performance, expectation and the self. In Wilson’s hands, the famous dissertation becomes transcendent.
